We are happy to announce that we are going to be part of INTERGEO 2018 in Frankfurt this week on October 16.-18. This event being the “global hub of the geospatial community” has quite something to offer with hundreds and hundreds of innovative companies showcasing their products and visions.
We are joining up with the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) at their booth in hall 12.1 (12.1F.017 to be exact).
Feel free to visit us and discover the growing ecosystem around openrouteservice.org with all the many possibilities – we are definitely looking forward to meeting you!
The latest list of functionalities includes not only routing, geocoding or isochrones (faster and better than ever) on an interactive web map (maps.openrouteservice.org), but APIs for those and further services such as time-distance matrix calculations or a POI API (openpoiservice) – all with professional documentation. ORS supports more specialised routing profiles than ever: from heavy vehicles, wheelchairs, e-bikes to fitness-level biking and others with many options each. Several dedicated ORS instances for disaster response are updated on high frequency. The isochrone service also supports population statistics, there is a QGIS plugin, geoJSON support, a very handy Python library, one for Java and JavaScript and a library for R users. So stay tuned for the future! Everything is open source on GitHub. We also offer a series of JUPYTER notebook tutorials with topics from healthcare access analysis to combining Twitter Analysis and ORS directions.
As a research institution we obviously develop several research prototypes, e.g. for healthy green & quiet routing, Landmark based navigation, routing across open spaces and much more… Let’s get in touch!
